Dawn of the Chaos
Chapter 25: Abandoned Village
"So, this is the Dustorm Desert, the vast desert of the Eldin Province, right?" Scarley asks after Link and his friends reach the Dustorm Desert via a path from the Fireview Town.
"This place is so hot! The sun is so bright!" Zelda says with an unpleasant voice.
"Yeah, a bright sun will burn my smooth skin." Jedi says and looks at his skin.
"According to the map, we will find a village called Dustorm Village at the oasis in the middle of this desert." Lumiere says.
"Let's quick and get to that place! I am thirsty!" Zelda says before she starts moving.
"You are a water type Pokemon, Zelda. So I don't think you will get thirsty easily." Ordin says.
"Speak of type, since this place is a desert, a home of ground type Pokemon. So I think that maybe a new Hero/ine of Earth is living somewhere in this desert too." Link says.
"If that's true… We must find him/er. Maybe s/he is in the Dustorm Village." Zelda says.
"At least, I don't want the new Hero/ine of Earth to have a personality like the formal Hero of Earth." Jedi says. His words make everyone thinks of a formal Hero of Earth who had gone to the afterlife already.
"Yes, he is the worst hero in this world…" Scarley says.
"You are wrong, Scarley. I think that he is the worst hero in this universe." Ordin says.
"Stop argues and let's moves on! My skin is about to burn!" Zelda says. But then…
"Why do you say something like that? You are stupid." Someone says with a smug voice. Everyone turns back and sees a Kingdra.
"Who are you?" Link asks.
"Need not to know my name, loser. Just know that I am one of Lord Norval's seven sages" Kingdra says.
"What do you want from us?!" Zelda says.
"You all know." Kingdra says.
"Come on! We won't ever lose to you!" Link says. But Kingdra laughs.
"Do you think that you can defeat me easily? I am the strongest Pokemon in all seven sages." Kingdra says.
"Strong or not, but the light will always win the dark!" Link says. And a battle begins.
-After a fight-
"What?! I lost?!" Kingdra says unbelievably.
"As I said, light shall always win the dark!" Link says.
"It's impossible! I am a lot better than you all!" Kingdra says.
"If you have nothing more, leave us." Zelda says. But Kingdra laughs.
"If you all desire to go to that village in the middle of the desert, forget it. That village had been abandoned for a month. You will find no one in that village." Kingdra says.
"What?! What do you mean?!" Link asks unbelievably.
"I don't know about what had been happening. But remember this, you all will never win Lord Norval! And I, Pridra, shall always get into your way!" Pridra says.
"He is so strange…" Link mumbles. It makes Pridra very mad.
"How dare you say something like that to a lady?!" Pridra says angrily.
"What?! You are a girl?!" Link says unbelievably.
"You all are idiots! I am a lot better than you all! I swear that one day, I will win you all!" Pridra says angrily before she disappears.
"Link! It's terrible!" Zelda says.
"But what had been happening to that village?" Jedi asks.
"I don't know. But let's go!" Zelda says before everyone starts walking toward the Dustorm Desert.
-After a while-
"Pridra is true…" Scarley says after they reach the Dustorm Village.
"No one is in this village." Ordin says.
"But what made the villagers left the village?" Lumiere asks.
"Maybe the sandstorm." Jedi says. But Lumiere shakes his head no.
"I don't think so. Because this village is located in the middle of the desert. So a sandstorm isn't a strange thing for this village." Lumiere says.
"Anyway, let's find the clue about the reason about what made the villagers left the village." Zelda says.
"Also, we must find the clue about the lost Dustorm Kingdom too." Link says. Then everyone separates to search about the clue in the Dustorm Village.
-In a house-
"Find anything?" Zelda asks Link.
"Nothing." Link says. Then he notices something in a pile of rubber.
"Zelda, look at this." Link says and picks something from a pile of rubber. It is a dirty book.
"Just a dirty book." Zelda says.
"Not a normal dirty book. This is the diary." Link says.
"What?!"Zelda says.
"Should I read it?" Link says.
"No! Because diary is the secret of its owner!" Zelda says. But Link shakes his head no.
"If this diary is important to its owner, then why its owner left it in a pile of rubber?" Link asks.
"That's true." Zelda says.
"I will read it. Because it may contain some important data." Link says. Then he opens the diary.
Day 22 Month December Year XXXX
Today, maybe is one of the worst day in our village. The sky all covered in black cloud. No bright sun as always. And there's a huge sandstorm occur in our village! But that isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is… that Pokemon appears in our village. Everyone in our village can sense a dark aura comes out of s/he. I know that s/he will bring a disaster to our village for sure.
"What does it mean?! The worst day in the village?!" Zelda says.
"The diary says that it is the same day that someone appears in this village…. It seems that everyone believes that s/he isn't a good Pokemon." Link says.
"But who is s/he?" Zelda asks.
"I don't know. Let's continue reading." Link says.
Day 14 Month February Year XXXX
Today is a Valentine Day, the day of love. Everyone shows their love to the one that s/he loves…Except him/er. S/He never shows any emotion. Is s/he alive? Then why s/he never show his/er emotion? But the thing that I know is s/he is a beast…
"A Pokemon with no emotion?!" Link says.
"But Link, we have met two emotionless Pokemon before." Zelda says.
"Who?" Link asks.
"Hero of Earth and Hero of Wind." Zelda says. But Link shakes his head no.
"I accept that Hero of Wind has never shown his emotion. But for the Hero of Earth… He sometime shows his emotion when he is very angry or sad." Link says.
"That's true." Zelda says.
"By the way, let's continue reading." Link says.
Day 03 Month March Year XXXX
Today, the elder of our village has just discovered an old legend about our village. This legend also said something about the end of our village too! The legend said that the village will come to the end a while after a Pokemon whom has dark wings appear! I can't believe it! Because s/he, an emotionless Pokemon whom appeared in our village about three months ago, s/he also has dark wings! Finally, the thing that I fear is about to come true… No, I am all wrong. That fiend isn't a truly Pokemon! Although s/he looks like some kind of Pokemon, but not. S/He is a mutant Pokemon.
"A dark-winged mutant Pokemon?!" Link says.
"Is that the thing that cause the village to come to the end?!" Zelda says.
"Maybe…" Link say before he reads the last page of the diary.
Day 22 Month June Year XXXX
Finally, the day that I was afraid, it is right upon us. The void has appeared in the sky! This is the disaster! We should exile that black-winged Pokemon since the day that we knew about the legend of the end of our village. But some villagers ask the elder to keep him/er in this village. They say that Pokemon is the angel… But I always call him/er "Black Angel". So, today we decide to punish him/er. We imprisoned him/er in the statue in the village's shrine. I believe that s/he will die inside that statue. But the void still appears in the sky. So we have no choice but leave this village. I decide to leave this diary to tell the story about the end of our village. Now I believe that s/he has died already. For you, the one who is reading my diary, this is the tragedy of our village. This tragedy has been started from that evil Pokemon, The Sorceress of the Darkness!
